They made a 2-in-1 Leg Machine | Legpress & Hacksquat - Let’s review it!

We have got a new addition to the garage gym. Something that is going to take our leg workouts to that next level. Let's open it up viking style. So unfortunately I ended up getting sick and I wasn't able to finish filming but I finished building and I want to show it to you guys. Show you how it works and just show you how awesome it is. How it's a hack squat and leg press two in one now i don't have any weight on it but i'm gonna show you guys how it sets up it's very very easy um you just basically step into here you know under these pads for your shoulders you got the safeties here so i'm gonna lift it up pop the safeties off and now i'm set up for my hack squats and all i gotta do throw some weight on here and work my hack squats feels pretty good feels solid it does not feel janky or wonky like i'm not gonna flip it over or feel like it's gonna you know collapse on me once you're done throw those safeties back on boom it just latches in place and just like that you have a hack squat set up at your home in your garage now i'm going to show you how you swap it out into a leg press very very easy now this is the removable pad here the one that you use for your back whether you're doing squats or leg press and all you have to do is right here you pop this thing out and it pops off so i'm done doing hack squats I want to do leg press just like that. The pad pops off and it goes right here. Pops onto this part. This piece goes right into there to secure it. Make sure it doesn't pop off. So here you have it. The back pad is right here right now, set up for leg press. So that latch lets you either remove this completely so you can do hack squats or it lets you change the angle for your leg press. The weights go on here. Stack your weights on the back. Here's about how much space it takes up. so I'm going to put it right there along the wall so I can still pull my car in and it's not that heavy there's no weights on this thing you can slide it around the floor and move it to wherever you want to move it here's the safeties we were talking about so you have the three safety positions and you can latch them into here to basically set it up as high or as low as you want overall really great piece of equipment very versatile in fact it provides two machines in one so basically the space of one machine but multifunctional now i want to highlight and show you guys some of the key features that this piece of equipment offers how it stands out from your typical leg press or your typical hack squat machine you already know it's a two-in-one which is amazing as it stands i'm gonna show you guys how easy it is to move it around so if i want to take it i can literally slide it right here so super simple to move around which is great at least in my garage it's easy for me to pull it around when there's no weights on it now let me show you guys some of the really cool features about it and just give you an idea of how this thing operates now here you have your safeties that i showed you and i i mentioned that there's one two three different safety levels that you can set it for for different heights so once you get in the machine there's the first one if i want to go higher if i'm a little bit taller i can bring it all the way up and then latch it on the highest one here you have the safeties the one two and three levels of where you can you know safely secure the machine when you're done with your set now let me show you a cool feature with the leg press that is pretty awesome with this thing now again super simple pop this off bring it down here and then all we got to do is unlatch this and bring it up now this piece is adjustable so there isn't just one setting on it you have three different angles that you can actually set it up on which is pretty cool you got your setting one two and then three and let me give you a closer look at what that looks like so here's where you press with your legs when you're doing leg press and you can see you have these three holes right there and all you got to do is pull this little button right here and you can adjust the angle on which you're doing your leg press a lot of leg press machines in commercial gyms don't offer that so you can really change that you know how it engages your legs and the the load how it's placed on your legs when you're doing the leg press so right here this is just the flat and then if i want to change it set it right here pop this up boom or sorry that was angled back now you can feel a whole different level of tension on your legs here boom you want to change it again set it and let's put it at this angle and you'll really feel the difference and how it engages those legs on the leg press now one thing in seeing some reviews online is the limited range of motion that some people are complaining about i can see where people might complain about it not being able to support like a full range of motion for someone who's extremely tall so i'm only five foot five for me this is perfect i can't say for certain what height you would run into issues with the range of motion on it but it seems pretty damn solid for the price and for the fact that you get the two in one with the hack squat and the leg press really well designed well built not hard to put together at all um on the instructions it did say two people required but i was able to do it myself it just took a little bit longer but i was totally able to do it myself in just a few hours now one of the benefits to being able to set this to a 45 degree angle in either direction is it can fix your form if you're someone who struggles with lower back pain when doing this. So it'll alleviate some of that pressure that goes onto your spine and keep it focused on those legs. If you feel like you're struggling with your form, you're raising your hips up, you're not setting properly, and you're feeling a lot of pressure on your lumbar spine versus your legs and your quads because that is the focus here, right? right you should be just working those legs and not feeling it in your lower back and then you have really simple things like the diamond pattern here for the anti-slip you don't want it to be like a flat smooth surface you want something that's going to be able to grip the bottom of your shoe and not worry about your feet moving around or slipping around when you're doing the leg press very smart piece of equipment to tell a lot of thought went into how to make a two-in-one and then you know once you're here you just swap it right into a hack squat machine in a matter of seconds you can't beat that overall i give this a solid eight to nine out of ten just because of the ingenuity the ease of use it's easy to move around it takes up a little space it is a two in one hack squat and leg press which is amazing the only thing is maybe if you're on the taller side you may run into that issue that a lot of the taller folks are having with the limited range of motion on the hack squat not being able to get fully up but overall great piece of equipment love it i will be using it for my home leg workouts in my opinion it is a must-have for leg workouts you can have a power rack do your heavy squats but if you have one of these you can do your heavy squats and your leg press all in one this is highly efficient way to build a workout space especially at home check them out it's RITFIT this is their leg press hack squat machine two in one you will not be disappointed check them out everything's in the description as always don't forget to smash that like smash that subscribe hit that bell for notifications whenever a new video comes out if you guys enjoy these review videos let me know in the comments and I'll review more products for either home gym or for home workout for calisthenics styles products.
